Curried Chicken Salad & Epicurean Giveaway!

curried chicken salad

This flavorful curried chicken salad is packed with sweet red grapes, dried cranberries, chopped apples, sliced almonds, and cubes of cooked chicken breasts lathered in a creamy curry dressing. You can eat is as a side dish, or make it the main dish by filling whole wheat pita breads with it. I love the combination of the yellow curry with sweet grapes and a little tang from the dried cranberries. I found this recipe in Cooking Light magazine, and the original used pineapples and currants. I modified the recipe to what I had in my pantry, and it came out great!

I haven’t done a giveaway in a long time. Don’t worry, because I have an awesome giveaway for you today: a California-shaped cutting board by Epicurean. I was really impressed with the high quality of this cutting board, which is important to me because since I am always cooking my cutting boards usually do not last very long! I just love the design, since I was born & raised in California. These cutting boards are made in the U.S. from non-porous wood fiber, and come with a lifetime warranty.

    I love how there are so many flavours with this chicken salad and what a great idea to serve it in a bread pocket. The fresh and dried fruits must add great texture. I love the CA board – what a great idea xx

  2. Bethany says:

    I love chopping cabbage – it has such a satisfying crunch and it’s great for snacking on while chopping!

  3. Hilary says:

    Do you suggest a replacement ingredient for the mayonnaise?
    Not worrying about fat content, calories, etc. I just hate the taste of mayo.
